Have you checked the Indianapolis Children’s Museum? As I remember,
they had a good collection of Hoosier samplers.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Sampler Collections in PA
Attention
PA institutions: I am seeking info on collections of needlework samplers
housed in PA museums, historic sites, historical societies, libraries
etc. for a friend who is working on the behalf of the Sampler
Consortium. We are very familiar with the larger institutional
holdings – i.e. Philadelphia Museum of Art, most county historical societies in
the eastern part of the state – however, we need to know location and number of
samplers for other organizations that might have “hidden” collections.
Even if you have one or two samplers, we’d like you to stand up and be
counted. Please contact me off list.
Many
thanks,
Candace
